The phrase, “If the shoe fits…” couldn’t be more true than for America’s tallest man!

At 7’8 1/3″ and with size 24 feet, Igor Vovkivinskiy can’t go shopping for shoes in his local mall, so Reebok has made him custom-designed giant sneakers that even have his name emblazoned on the bottom — just in case someone confuses them for their own!

The gentle giant from the Ukraine, who has been living in Rochester, New York since 1989, has only ever had one pair of shoes at a time.

Vovkivinskiy came to the U.S. to have Mayo Clinic treat a tumor on his pituitary gland that was accelerating his growth, and 27 years later he still suffers from debilitating pain from his misshapen feet.

In May, he traveled to Reebok headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts, to go through a series of tests, measurements and evaluations so they could create the custom shoes for him.
